Can these be used with snow tires? Or is there a different type of Z chains designed for snow tires? concerned tire damage w/ bigger tread

Absolutely ! I have used several different applications of the Z chains both automotive and light truck.... With both; all season and winter tires. I have never experienced tire or wheel damage. The only difference I have experienced with the Super Z6 is it takes a little more patience during installation....knowing where to tug and pull......they fit closely so there is not a lot of "extra" slack to help with installation. Still takes less than 10 min. to install !

Hi Joseph. I originally bought the 9800500 size chains to use on my PT Cruiser, which has 205-55x16 tires. (A little shorter and wider than yours but pretty similar.) They were really, REALLY tight and a pain in the ass to put on. I recently bought a new set and went one size larger, I think they're 9800600. They are much easier to put on and still fit nice and snug. If I need to replace them again that's what I'll get. And another word of advice for you - I find that these chains work well but you want to be careful to always avoid spinning the wheels. I was trying to climb a steep hill in very icy conditions that were just too much for the chains to cope with. The wheels spun, the car slipped sideways just a few feet and that caused the chain on one wheel to slide off to the inside of the wheel. It got torn up on the suspension, no damage to the car but that's why I bought the new set. Obviously, I like them enough to buy a new set but I'll be more careful with them now and I'd recommend everyone else should be too. Tom

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

So your tire size means that the outside to outside widest width of your tire is 4.10 inchs, which would be the sidewalls at there most inflated air pressure. Lets say it's printed on your sidewall of your tire which most tires have as the size and yours is "4.10x3.50-6"...What this means is that you have a tire which is 4.10 inches at its widest width and you have a tread which is 3.50 inchs of surface contact, and the rim is 6" across, lip to lip. So yes these tires chains will fit. Keep in mind before you buy that there are probably heavier duty chains out there but at a higher price. Like I said these chains , bang for the buck are not a bad buy. You should get some years out of them.Good Luck Tom W.

Since there are "treads", snow does build up in them. No different than the soles of a shoe, really. Not sure about icy conditions, as we avoid them.

You need to check their fitment guide (is also in their catalog). The size numbers they use for a given tire size are hard to figure out without the guide. But this is a good type of chain for using your car in deep snow. If the snow is not deep you need definitely need to keep it under ~35 mph to avoid excess noise and vibration. But that's probably true with all chains.

Those tires are good for all seasons. I bought my tires one year ago and those are the same. No wearing out. And i know a friend that he bougth his tires 3 years and still the same. I use those with a truck that has snow plow. My tires are for pasanger vehicle and star with the letter p 265.if u have a truvk i will recond to buy tires for truck or LT.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall �

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

I don't think studded tires would be good for it. As for snow it would depend on how much was on it and how close to the edges.

well what i ended up doing was going ot the vulcan tire company site and finding the tire chains that fit my tires,then i took the part number and cross referenced it to the safety chain company's part number . their number was the same since vulcan tire company uses their product. then i simply went on amazon and typed in the part number. and ?pow it popped up right there. : ) the mistake i made was ordering the wrong part number the tire chains for a snow blower are qg0226 i think. the ones i needed were qg0266. my tires are 22x9.5x12.http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/chainsearch.cgi?size=22x9.50-12

My guess is these chains will fit if you are prepared to cut them to fit the size of you wheel... I bought them to improve the traction of my Ariens 5520 snowblower... the tire size on my snowblower is 13x4.00-6 which is among the sizes these chains are specified. To make the chains fit properly I had to cut off five links of length (including two cross members). This is no big deal, but if you do not have a bolt cutter, it will probably be very challenging...I also bought the QG20030 (small) chain tightener but it also was too big for my 13 inch wheel...so I used only the (orange) hooks with a small bungee cord and that solved the problem...

I've had no problems with tires. Easy to install. They sat outside in my shed all winter in below freezing temps and still had almost all air pressure.

I us them on 20x9s on my Suburban, they work fine. Don't know about the offset, if the wheels are for that vehicle there should be no problem with the tires. Speedo might have changed by 1mph at 60. Still good after years of warm weather driving, but I use dedicated snow tires on original wheels in the winter. Probably have 50K miles on them and lots of tread left, but I have not really kept close track of which tires have how much mileage.

Mahdee, if you go to the listing for this snow chain, at the bottom you'll see the words "Find The Right Tire Chains" it's a pdf that will show you what tires these chains will fit on. You need to know your tire size to do this.

I would also recommend checking the online tire size recommendations. I believe these chains will be too large for your tires, even with the tighteners.
